The answer was: it depends. So Sean spent the following week finding out. In this episode, it's the second part of our interview with Sean. Kyle and Sean to go through what actually happened when Sean used Claude Code for a week, including the modes that made Claude Code manageable, the controls that give you more say over how it works, and where it still falls short of Cowork for everyday work. Plus, Jess is back from Cannes Lions with a round-up of what the advertising industry is saying about where AI is heading.</p><p><br></p><p><strong>Vibe Coding Series: </strong></p><p><br></p><p>Part 1 of Sean's interview: https://shows.acast.com/early-adoptr/episodes/claude-code-vs-cowork-what-non-technical-founders-need-to-kn </p><p>Basics of Vibe-coding: https://shows.acast.com/early-adoptr/episodes/vibe-coding-for-non-technical-founders-where-things-actually</p><p>How to set up your files &amp; folders for vibe-coding: https://shows.acast.com/early-adoptr/episodes/your-ai-keeps-forgetting-everything-heres-how-to-fix-it-w-ro </p><p><br></p><p><strong>How to find Sean:</strong></p><p><br></p><ul><li><a href=\"https://breakthroughgrow.com/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">https://breakthroughgrow.com/</a></li><li><a href=\"https://www.linkedin.com/in/seanbhardwaj/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">https://www.linkedin.com/in/seanbhardwaj/</a></li></ul><p><br></p><p><strong>In this episode:</strong></p><p><br></p><ul><li>How Claude Code's modes (plan, think, auto) work and which to reach for</li><li>Running several tasks at the same time and what it does to your output speed</li><li>Monitoring and automation: setting Claude Code to act when something changes</li><li>Managing how much effort Claude Code puts in and avoiding burning through your usage</li><li>Comparing Claude Code and Cowork: what each one is actually better at</li><li>Sean's week-long experiment switching exclusively to Claude Code</li><li>Jess's round-up from Cannes Lions 2026 and what was different about AI conversations this year</li></ul><p><br></p><p><strong>Timestamps:</strong></p><p>00:00 - Introduction, Cannes Lions and the Claude Fable 5 update</p><p>11:06 - What agents actually are in Claude Code</p><p>13:26 - Plan mode, thinking mode and auto mode</p><p>19:28 - How Claude Code can work on several things at once</p><p>27:26 - Making the most of your Claude Code usage</p><p>28:42 - Set it and forget it: monitoring with Claude Code</p><p>31:05 - Why batching your focus time matters</p><p>33:11 - Setting Claude Code to watch for something and act when it happens</p><p>35:39 - The Claude Code controls that give you more say over how it works</p><p>38:20 - How to stop Claude Code from using more than you need</p><p>41:13 - Cowork vs Claude Code: Sean's verdict</p><p>46:14 - Quick wins for non-technical users</p><p>47:28 - Why Sean made the switch</p><p>47:52 - One week in Claude Code: what actually happened</p><p>50:28 - How to check in on a running Claude Code session from your phone</p><p>53:20 - How skills work in Claude Code</p><p>56:09 - Why thinking through what you want before Claude starts gets better results</p><p>58:58 - When Claude Code overdoes it and Cowork is the simpler choice</p><p>01:02:07 - Where AI tools like Claude Code are heading next</p><p><br></p><p><strong>Get in Touch</strong></p><p><a href=\"mailto:hello@earlyadoptr.ai\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">hello@earlyadoptr.ai</a></p><p>TikTok: @early_adoptr</p><p>Instagram: @early_adoptr</p><p>YouTube: @early_adoptr</p><p>LinkedIn: <a href=\"https://www.linkedin.com/company/early-adoptr/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">https://www.linkedin.com/company/early-adoptr/</a></p><p><a href=\"www.earlyadoptr.ai \" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">www.earlyadoptr.ai </a></p>","author_name":"Early Adoptr"}
